Qld boy, 5, mowed down by motorcyclist

A motorcyclist has mowed down a young boy after ignoring a red light, leaving the child with fractures and a head injury, before riding off.

Police believe the five-year-old and a 31-year-old woman were crossing Juers Street, near Attunga Street in Kingston, when the rider cut around a car stopped at the red light and hit the boy. The motorcyclist kept going.

The boy suffered a minor head injury as well as fractures to his leg and ankle, and is in Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in a stable condition. Police are appealing for dashcam footage or witnesses.
